Have you ever listened to a presentation and thought this person doesn’t seem to care about what they are talking about but it’s touching me deeply? I am so wowed by this.
Probably not. You probably tuned out because it was flat and dry.
However, you have probably listened to a topic you weren’t interested in but because the person speaking had their full heart in every word and you could feel their care, passion and love for the topic and their message, it woke you up. It touched you and it got you curious. Right?
Yet. so many people have been told that they care too much. That they need to care less to be a better leader.
And I cannot tell you how many times I have sat with a smart leader who with sadness in their voice said: I know, I care too much. I just need to care less about my work.
Did you ever think that if only you cared less you would find work easier and probably be more successful? If so you already know what I will share next.
Caring less doesn’t work.
When you have a big heart, caring less feels flat and demotivating. It definitely doesn't make you a better leader to try to pretend that you don't really care...
So what’s the solution... Because so many humans who care deeply find themselves depleted, disappointed and demotivated.
Caring Deeply is a powerful leadership quality if it's matched by a few things. We need to add some other ingredients to the deep care for it to really shine.
It's also incredibly helpful to understand why people might tell you that you care too much. Because when you dig into these reasons, you will get a lot of insights into how to strengthen your leadership without needing to care less and in a way that will give you more energy.

So after 16 years of coaching on this topic I have created a 3-part audio series called Caring Deeply is not too much. And right now you can get access for free.
When you sign up to Caring Deeply is not too much you will reiceive an email that will enable you to listen via your podcast app. It is sooo easy (because like you I am super busy and personally my time to consume learnings and inspiration is mainly while I am doing housework or on-the-go between places).
I want to live in a world where the leaders Care DEEPLY about their work, their impact, the humans, the planet and how they go about it all and so I have made this training free. It might get a price tag in the future, but for right now, you can get instant access for free.
Caring Deeply is a superpower. We just need some other ingredients to make the caring deeply shine and be healthy. These are easy tweaks. I want to remind you how and why. Sign up here.
And of course now is a great time to breathe,
